This article was made GA in 2006, and was delisted today. I added a few references, started some more sections, readded the lead image. What else should be added to this article to get it back to GA, or dare i say it, FA? There are no Picture book FAs, so any comments would help! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 05:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- Make Way for Ducklings is FA and is at least a children's book with a lot of pictures, and may be a good model. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 12:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- How silly of me, of course there is that one :) Judgesurreal777 (talk) 13:41, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Ruhrfisch comments: While this is a short article, I think it has the potential to be GA again and perhaps FA some day. Here are some suggestions for improvement:
- The Lead will need to be rewritten to summarize the whole article per WP:LEAD. Also make sure nothing is only in the lead (i.e. Daddy's beard). You might want to wait to do this until the rest of the article has been rewritten, otherwise this will have to be done twice.
- I believe it is properly a board book, although the current lead says It is not a book in the traditional sense..
- I looked at the existing sources in the article and on the internet and found a lot about this book, much of which is not in the article - I think it can be expanded
- There are a fair number of scholarly refs in GoogleSchoolar and Google Books which could be used in a reception section
- Online in ref 1 - New York Times - I found the number of words in the book (135), the fact that it is still hand assembled, the amounts of various materials used to make the book, that in 1990 it was the best-selling American children's book of all time and the second best-selling children's book in the USA, etc.
- It is going to be the subect of an exhibition at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art here, assuming there is a catalog, that would be a great source
- I would try to update the sales and other figures if possible - the sales are as of 2006 right now. I would also add to the article "As of 2008..." or whenever the date is for the stats
- If possible I would add a history or development section - talk about Kunhardt's career, what she wrote before, and how she came to write this
- I would split Legacy from Reception and look at the various sequels Kunhardt wrote, the other titles in the line, and how it can be seen as the first "touch and feel" book
What is there is good - refs, etc. I would also look at the model article. Hope this helps, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:56, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
